WUHU, China – April 12, 2025:
LONGi Green Energy Technology, a global leader in solar innovation, has unveiled its revolutionary Hi-MO 9 module, powered by HPBC 2.0 technology, achieving an industry-leading 24.8% conversion efficiency and a maximum power output of 670W. This advancement surpasses mainstream TOPCon modules by 40W in mass production, marking a significant leap in enhancing photovoltaic power plant value worldwide.
The Hi-MO 9 module incorporates innovative 0BB (0 Busbar) technology and full-area passivation (half-cell architecture), boosting module power by 10W. The optimized rear-side grid design elevates bifaciality to over 80%, significantly enhancing overall energy yield. Compared to TOPCon modules, Hi-MO 9 delivers a 1.5% absolute efficiency gain and increases installed capacity by approximately 6.4% under equivalent land area, reducing upfront investment costs.
Field demonstration projects across diverse climates, including high-temperature/high-humidity regions and arid environments, have demonstrated the module's exceptional resilience and performance.
At the launch event, LONGi announced a new world record in high-efficiency PV cell technology, achieving 27.81% conversion efficiency for its self-developed HIBC silicon solar cells, certified by Germany’s ISFH. This achievement underscores LONGi’s commitment to driving cutting-edge solar solutions.
To further promote the adoption of high-efficiency BC technology, LONGi, in partnership with TÜV Rheinland, launched the "Global Optimal BC Solar Power Plant Design Challenge," inviting consultancies, EPC firms, and renewable energy investors worldwide to submit innovative designs for ground-mounted power plant projects. The competition offers a total prize purse of approximately 280,000 USD.
Dennis She, Vice President of LONGi, emphasized, "BC technology represents the ultimate advancement in crystalline silicon solar cells. The upgraded Hi-MO 9, powered by HPBC 2.0, will deliver unparalleled value to customers worldwide. We are committed to sharing BC innovations with global partners to build a sustainable future."
LONGi’s global order reserves for BC modules have exceeded 40GW, signaling strong market demand and the potential to redefine the photovoltaic industry with high-efficiency, sustainable solar solutions.
